The Laura Wheeler Waring School is located in the beautiful Fairmount section of Philadelphia. The neighborhood is experiencing rapid gentrification with many beautiful townhouses and restaurants. Located near the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Fairmount neighborhood is one of culture and excitement.
The Philadelphia Inquirer recently cited Waring as one of the “10 Most Improved Schools in Pennsylvania.” Waring also received the Keystone Award, which recognizes significant improvement in a school’s performance.
Waring school's class sizes are small, and the teachers pride themselves on doing their jobs “The Waring Way” with academic excellence and caring.” They are strong teachers, role models and mentors who strive to make Waring the best school in the city of Philadelphia.
Waring students go on many exciting, academically related class trips throughout the school year. Beautiful samples of student work adorn the halls of the school and make for an inviting learning environment, and a recognition of the students’ achievements.

Waring is located adjacent to a Department of Recreation playing field and playground. The school has a modern computer lab and two science labs. Waring is scheduled for major renovations in the coming year—new fencing, gardens, and other external improvements, technology and facility upgrades for the library, and a variety of other work to the hallways, bathrooms, stairwell, cafeteria and playroom. The mini-theater, newly installed by the Walnut Street Theatre, will serve as a performance space for Waring students in the future.
